Revision of small or 'surface' errors in a written text (punctuation or grammar) is known as what?

• A. Local Revision
• B. Local Errors
• C. Long-Term Memory
• D. Short-Term Memory

Answer: (A)

Local revision is about polishing surface-level features like punctuation, grammar, spelling, and capitalization at the sentence level. This type of editing tightens language without changing the ideas or structure of the content. That's why it fits the description of revising small or surface errors in a written text.

Long-Term Memory and Short-Term Memory refer to cognitive processes for storing and recalling information, not to editing a text. Local Errors isn’t a standard term for the revision process itself.
